Publisher Description
Three lives. Two nations. One war that wove their lives together in ways so extraordinary they'd be unbelievable if they weren't meticulously documented.
He carried out the most devastating surprise attack in modern history. She prayed for the enemies who hounded her parents into the jungle. He barely survived torment in a Japanese prison cell—and left a completely changed man.
"Wounded Tiger" is the true story of:
Mitsuo Fuchida—the elite commander pilot who led the attack on Pearl Harbor, driven by a samurai's discipline for a "living god" emperor,
Jacob DeShazer—a Doolittle Raider who endured brutal Japanese captivity, fueling a visceral hatred that could only be broken by a forbidden book; and
Peggy Covell—a young woman whose secret act of radical love set an impossible chain of events in motion that transformed a nation's most famous warrior.
This full-cast audiobook production brings the three intertwining storylines to life with dedicated voice actors for each narrative thread: a Japanese American actor for Fuchida's story, an American male voice for DeShazer's, and a female voice for the Covell storyline. Author T. Martin Bennett provides a personal introduction and outro.
"Wounded Tiger" is a "crossover" masterpiece that bridges the gap between a profound, character-driven arc of radical change and the gripping rigors of World War II history. Readers describe the book as "impossible to put down" and finishing it "in 24 hours." Now experience the story the way it was originally conceived—as cinema for your ears.
